Leak detection & repair

Find the Leak. Without Wrecking Your Walls.

Hidden leaks turn into mould, rot, and insurance headaches fast. A Sasquatch plumber tracks down the source before we open a single tile — then we fix it, document it, and clean up after ourselves.

Non-destructive detection first. Repair second.

The old way of finding a leak: cut open a wall, guess. The Sasquatch way: methodical pressure testing, moisture tracking, and process-of-elimination diagnostics to narrow the leak down before we touch anything — then a targeted opening, not exploratory drywall demolition. Less damage, faster repair, and cleaner insurance documentation.

Slab leaks

Water lines under a concrete slab are the worst kind of leak to find — and the most expensive when someone guesses wrong. We locate first, then decide between spot repair, re-route, or full re-pipe.

In-wall pipe leaks

Slow drips inside a wall show up as bulging paint, stains, or a musty smell weeks before they show up as a puddle. We find and fix them before the drywall fails.

Supply line & fixture leaks

Toilet seals, angle stops, dishwasher supply lines — the boring stuff that causes 80% of home water damage claims. We replace failed hardware and pressure-test the fix.

When to call us about a leak

  • Your BC Hydro or water bill jumped for no reason — often the first (and only) sign of a hidden supply leak.
  • You hear water running when nothing is on — pressure loss inside a wall, ceiling, or under a slab.
  • Warm spot on the floor — hot water slab leak.
  • Musty smell, stained drywall, or peeling paint — leak that’s been quietly going for weeks.
  • Water meter spins when everything is off — active leak, somewhere between the meter and the fixtures.
  • Toilet ghost flushes on its own — internal seal is leaking. Small fix now, big flooring bill later.

Insurance-ready documentation

If your leak is covered by insurance, the adjuster needs photos, a written cause-of-loss, and a repair invoice. We put together all three for every leak we find — clean, timestamped, and worded the way adjusters actually accept. No back-and-forth, no chasing paperwork.

Fixed pricing, guaranteed repair

The detection is flat-rate. The repair is quoted separately once we know what we’re fixing — and we always show you the leak on the camera or thermal image before we open anything. Every fitting is pressure-tested and photo-documented before we close the wall.
